peterson Наконец-то это долгожданное событие произошло! Защитилась! Поставили "отлично", моя руководительница после защиты была белая -пушистая и очень довольная. Я до сих пор в недоумении по ее поводу, к чему было нервы трепать, не первый год друг друга знаем, ну да Бог с ней. Вам - огромное человеческое спасибо, Вы меня спасли, я бы сама точно ничего не успела, страшный цейтнот, а откладывать все на год - это выше моих сил. Слава Богу, все позади, возвращаюсь к своим заботам. Буду Вас рекомендовать друзьям, если возникнет такая потребность. Счастливо Вам, удачи во всем.
